You've already got +59 STR on that WS set.
Don't really think you "need" to improve anything.

Snow and Light Gorgets, Askar Gambieras, Heroic Boots+1, Gnadbhod's Helm, Maat's Cap, Strigoi Ring, Nocturnus Mail, Hachiryu Haidate are all pieces where you could add a little more STR, if you really want to.

sounds like you know what you need to do.

I swear it seems like some of these "gear help" threads are just ppl that want to show off what they have. Sam should be one of the easier jobs to figure out the WS sets for. If there is a slot that has more str than what you have get that.

Noct Head or that SCNM Head or Wyvern+1
Rutters
Gorget or Justice Torque
Hachiryu Hiadate
Satchet
Str+6 Ring.
Cerb+1
That's all I can think of..

Finishing the GK, Str and Overwhelm Merits will be a big boost. Nothing like completely free damage increase, 3 str, and 10acc/attk.

Yes unless your accuracy is substantially low, which it isn't.

You're going to hate me for this. :\

Head - Nocturnus Helm, Gnadbod's Helm.
Body - Osode, Nocturnus Mail.
Rings - Strigoi in one.
Legs - Hachiryu Haidate.

Very good set though!

Everyone seems to except Dusk +1 hands beat Homam hands and that's 4acc

Yet everyone argues about turban is better than askar (only 2-2.5 acc)

Wrong way round.

Foragers and Osode (14STR and 15 attack) is better than Hauby +1 and Smilodon Mantle +1 (11STR 12 attack)

Very good set though!

Things I'd add.

Edit: Actually I remember seeing a +6str neckpiece in upper jeuno last week, Possibly synergy/HQ'able?

I think this would be classified as "near perfect" lol. At least it's what ill be eventually aiming for once i see where the 99 cap takes us in gear/rewards.

I refuse to buy certain things or make a move just yet.

The store tp -6 only effects your WS hit. It's neglible and can easily be worked around in your tp set.

Just use hachiman sune-ate +1's instead of rutters/askar/RSE

Ifrit's Bow is a *** and a half to get. Not sure how Ire +1 stacks up against Snow Gorget and I can't be bothered to do SAM math right now.

Given the optimizations made in TP sets concerning STP I'd argue it's a lot more significant than you act like, unless you're overcapping accuracy and can swap to White Tathlum. Hachi (+1) feet over Rutters is a pretty good trade though, didn't think about that.

Whether or not it is worth it depends on what you have to give up in your TP set.

WS frequency normally beats WS damage.

This is a nice solution. 3 STR will beat the 5 attack on rutters.
